don't forget lovesickness

"Snapped!"

Qin Zhihao smashed the teacup in his hand angrily. He couldn't imagine that after his sister passed away, in just a few days, the officials in his faction were either inexplicably injured or dismissed from office by someone, and accidents happened one after another. , but he couldn't even find out who did it, but he knew who it was without checking, but he didn't expect Xiao Yu to have such a great ability, which made him very puzzled. How did he do it? In the palace for many years, how did he cultivate his power quietly under his nose.

"Father, what happened?" Yuchan walked into the room and asked with a glance at the broken teacup on the ground.

"Is there any news from your sister?" Qin Zhihao asked anxiously. Such a serious setback had never happened before, which made him unable to calm down for a while.

It was also the first time Yuchan saw Qin Zhihao like this, she was slightly surprised, and then said: "My sister sent a letter back saying that she has been busy with the Queen Mother's funeral these days and has no time to get away."

"Why have no time to get away!" Qin Zhihao said angrily, "She just can't bear Xiao Yu, this idiot, you go and send a letter to Father Wei, asking her to contact the eldest princess as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame Father for breaking his promise!"

"only."

"Wait," Qin Zhihao stopped Yuchan who was about to leave, and asked, "How is the Lord of Xiuling Palace?"

Yuchan thumped in her heart, quickly calmed down, and said, "Still in captivity."

"Very good," Qin Zhihao felt a little relieved, walked in front of Yuchan, patted her on the shoulder, and said in his father's loving tone, "Don't let your father down like your sister .”

"Yes, father." Yuchan responded obediently. She would have been flattered in the past, but now she has already been disappointed in him, and his father's love is just to make herself obedient and become a smooth pawn.

Qin Zhihao looked at Yuchan's disappearing figure, turned his head to the housekeeper who had been waiting by the side and asked, "How is it in Zhuangzi?"

"Back to the Prime Minister," the housekeeper took a step forward, and said, "People in the Zhuangzi have been paying attention to the actions of the second lady. She has not shown any signs of unraveling the soft tendons for the lord of Xiuling Palace. The lord has been locked on the bed. They I have tried it before, and I am sure that the master's skill is imprisoned, and the second lady has not betrayed you."

"Very good," Qin Zhihao didn't want to trust anyone, he wanted to control everything in his own hands, "Let them continue to monitor, don't let the second lady find out, if there is anything wrong, report it immediately."

"only."

"Did the eldest son receive the letter?"

"Prime Minister, after receiving your letter from Feige, the eldest son rectified his troops and returned to the capital."

"Very good," Qin Zhihao felt a little relieved, and then asked, "Did the third son send a letter back?"

"Yes, he has already made friends with King Jin of Beihao Kingdom."

"At the beginning, he said that he wanted to go north to Beihao country. I didn't agree, but I didn't expect him to do it." Qin Zhihao nodded with satisfaction. Among his five children, he was the third son who satisfied him the most. , "You send a letter to the third son, he doesn't need to worry about being a father, he just needs to do his own thing well."

"only."

"Miss Gu, the empress is here and wants to see you."

Gu Qing paused the hand holding the tea, put down the cup, and said, "Please come in."

"only."

Qin Yurou frowned, walked in in plain clothes, saw Gu Qingqian at a glance, and saw her sitting on the armchair looking at herself softly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which made her a little dazed , as if returning to the time when she was not married to Xiao Yu many years ago, she always looked at herself so tenderly.She regained her composure and walked in. Today she came alone without Xi Hua, so there were some things that she couldn't say in front of her.

She hesitated for a while and asked: "The death of my aunt was not a simple suicide, is it related to you?"

"Yes……"

Qin Yurou froze for a moment, remembering his father's letter. In just a few days after his aunt died, officials following her father started to have accidents one after another. It seemed a coincidence but revealed a huge conspiracy, which made him very disturbed. He wanted to To determine Gu Qingqian's true thoughts.Originally, she was going to try something out, but she didn't expect Gu Qingqian to admit it so directly, which made her a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Although it's related to me, but," Gu Qingqian continued, "I didn't kill people."

"What?" Qin Yurou was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Who is that?"

"You don't want to know." A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Gu Qingqian's mouth.

Qin Yurou frowned slightly, and suddenly a thought flashed into her mind, she covered her mouth in shock, not letting herself cry out, she couldn't imagine that her cousin would kill her own mother, but the corner of Gu Qingqian's mouth His smile clearly said that what he thought was true.

"The empress is not here to ask me this question, is it?"

Qin Yurou lowered her head slightly, slowly lowered her hand, and asked in a low voice, "Now that my aunt has passed away, what does the eldest princess plan to do?"

"Then I don't know what the Prime Minister's plan is?" Gu Qingqian looked at Qin Yurou slightly sideways.

"Father hopes that the eldest princess will be able to return as soon as possible."

"Why is the prime minister so anxious? I haven't found an opportunity yet." Gu Qingqian knew that under Xiao Yu's pressure and his own help, Qin Zhihao's left and right arms were being snapped off one by one, and he couldn't wait.

"Father said there is a way." Qin Yurou's eyes dimmed slightly, this was the last thing she wanted to say.

"What way?" Gu Qingqian was slightly surprised.

"The Queen's Grand Ceremony." Qin Yurou finally said these words, even though she was unwilling in every possible way, in order to save Xiao Yu's life, she could only agree to her father's conditions.

"Do you know what you're talking about?" Gu Qingqian didn't believe that Qin Yurou would be willing to give up her position as queen. If she was really willing to give up, then there was only one possibility. Qin Zhihao threatened her with Xiao Yu's life.

"I know," Qin Yurou stood up, and smiled at Gu Qing, but it was so bitter, "If he is gone, what queen do I need?"

Gu Qingqian pursed his lips and did not reply.

"I just need you to nod, I don't need you to do anything else."

Gu Qingqian finally nodded. She had no reason to give up this opportunity, but in her heart, Qin Yurou was Qin Yurou, and Qin Zhihao was Qin Zhihao. She never thought of hurting her, but the situation forced her to do so. After all, you have to stand on the opposite side.

The drizzle fell from the sky, and it lasted for half a month. The gray sky was very similar to Qin Yurou's current mood. Standing under the eaves, she looked up at the sky, her mood was so peaceful.

Xiao Yu appeared outside Qin Yurou's bedroom, and saw the quiet and picturesque Qin Yurou at a glance. Chang Yuan was about to speak but was stopped by him. Give myself many years, she is still like her many years ago, pure and lovely, if she is not arranged for him by his mother and uncle, he is willing to marry her, but there is no if.

"Rou'er." He walked forward alone, and softly called out the name he hadn't called in many years. The suppression of Qin Zhihao in the past few days made him, the moment he saw Qin Yurou, Feeling a little guilty, she was kind to him.

Qin Yurou's body trembled slightly. She hadn't heard Xiao Yu calling herself like this for many years. She turned her head slightly to look at the man who walked towards her, with a soft smile on her mouth, and this smile came from her When she had memories, she occupied her mind. She wanted to marry him all the time, but when she really married him, he no longer wanted to smile at herself. He was always cold, even if their When the child was born, he did not hesitate to smile. This moment made her a little dazed and even felt unreal.

"Why are you here?"

"Your Majesty," Qin Yurou bowed slightly and saluted, "I was a little bored staying in the palace, so I came out."

"Is it better now?"

"much better."

"Very good," Xiao Yu smiled softly, nodded lightly, and stretched out his hand to hold Qin Yurou's hand, "Then follow me in, don't catch cold."

Qin Yurou was a little flattered, and was dragged in by Xiao Yu.

Xi Hua looked at the scene in front of her a little overwhelmed, and then she was overjoyed, and followed happily. Seeing the two sitting on the couch, she hurriedly served tea.

Xiao Yu took a sip of the tea cup, Qin Yurou took it and put it aside, glanced at Xiao Yu, she didn't know how to speak.

"How is Shen'er's homework these days?" Xiao Yu asked like a loving father.

"I know a lot of characters, and I can memorize the Three Character Classic."

"I haven't seen him for many days."

"I will order someone to bring him here." After speaking, Qin Yurou asked Xi Hua to bring Xiao Shen over.

"You seem to have lost weight."

Qin Yurou was taken aback for a moment, raised her head to meet Xiao Yu's gentle eyes, then lowered her head, how she wished all this could last, she took a deep breath, looked up at Xiao Yu again, and said, "Recently a letter came from home , my father is in poor health, and my concubine is worried about his health, so some food is tasteless and difficult to swallow."

Xiao Yu's rare gentleness was withdrawn in Qin Yurou's words, his eyes gradually became a little cold, and even the remaining guilt disappeared without a trace, he said coldly: "Youdao is" Follow your father at home, follow your husband when you get married', you have already married into the royal family and become a queen, you should only think about me wholeheartedly, that is no longer your home, I am your home."

"Your Majesty, he is my father after all, and I hope Your Majesty will be merciful." Tears overflowed from the corners of Qin Yurou's eyes, but she tried her best not to shed them.

Xiao Yu snorted coldly, and said angrily, "Your father suppresses me all the time, don't tell me you want to suppress me too?"

"No! Your Majesty!" Qin Yurou got up from her seat and knelt down in front of Xiao Yu, and hurriedly said, "That's not what I mean by being a concubine!"

Xiao Yu bent down slightly, stared at Qin Yurou, his eyes were full of coldness, and asked word by word: "I don't know what the queen means?"

"Father is the hero who helped His Majesty to the throne after all, he just thought wrong for a while..."

"Misunderstanding?" Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to pinch Qin Yurou's chin, and said coldly, "The empress is really my good empress, she only thinks about her father, do you know who comes first and then ministers?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Xiao Yu pinched Qin Yurou's jaw, and it was difficult for her to speak for a while. She wanted to say something, but was interrupted again.

"Enough!" Xiao Yu pushed Qin Yurou away, stood up angrily, and looked down at her.

"Mother!" A childish voice sounded hastily at the door, and a small person was standing at the door with surprise in his eyes.

Xi Hua's eyes were also full of surprise, she was clearly affectionate before she left, why did she become like this after only walking for less than a moment.

Xiao Shen walked towards Qin Yurou eagerly with his little feet, hugged her head, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, are you okay?"

Qin Yurou shook her head, quickly got up and continued to kneel in front of Xiao Yu, grabbed his clothes, and said, "Your Majesty! Please take a step back, and I will persuade father to take a step back!"

Xiao Yu threw Qin Yurou away with a wave of his sleeves. If he cared about Qin Zhihao before, he would let himself talk to her calmly. Now that he has gradually eradicated the Qin Party, for him, Qin Zhihao can no longer threaten him. Well, since Qin Yurou doesn't know what's good or bad, let's help each other out.

"Since the queen misses her natal family so much, then I will abolish you and let you go back and spend time with your old father."

Qin Yurou was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! No! That's not what I mean by being a concubine! Your Majesty..."

"Come here!" Xiao Yu yelled angrily without giving Qin Yurou a chance to speak, "Preach the decree! The empress has no virtue, it's out of character, abolish the queen's position, demote her to a commoner, and send her back to the prime minister's residence!"

"What!" Qin Yurou didn't expect Xiao Yu to be so heartless. At this moment, she finally knew that he was heartless to her, and everything was just wishful thinking.

"Father!" Xiao Shen called Xiao Yu with tears, walked in front of him, pulled his clothes, looked up at the father who hadn't seen him several times a year, and said, "Don't drive your mother away, okay?" Alright, now that the queen mother is gone, the minister will have no queen mother!"

Xiao Yu frowned slightly, pulled back his sleeves mercilessly, and said flatly: "Since you like your queen mother so much, then you also go to the prime minister's residence."

Xiao Shen was stunned, unable to react for a long time.

Xiao Yu glanced at the mother and son in disgust, turned around and left.

Xiao Shen looked at the back of Xiao Yu leaving, walked timidly to Qin Yurou's side, and asked with some fear, "Mother, does Emperor Father not want us?"

Qin Yurou shook her head, hugged Xiao Shen into her arms, tears flowed down uncontrollably, she looked at the direction Xiao Yu left, and said softly: "Father didn't want us, he was just angry because He was jealous, he said that the mother only thought of grandpa and not him, he said that Shen'er only thought of the mother and not him."

"Really?" Xiao Shen looked up at Qin Yurou, only to find that she was crying, so he quickly reached out to wipe her tears, and said in a sobbing tone, "Queen, don't cry, did Shen'er make you angry? Don't you?" Cry, Shen'er will be obedient, don't cry."

Qin Yurou hugged Xiao Shen tightly into her arms, and coaxed in a low voice: "Shen'er is very good, the queen doesn't cry, doesn't cry..."

Xi Hua hated Xiao Yu at this moment, and covered her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from crying. She really didn't understand why he treated Qin Yurou like this, since she was his wife.

The drizzle fell on Xiao Yu's hurried steps, and there was a bit of joy in his eyes. At this moment, he wanted to see Gu Qingqian, and he couldn't care less about riding in a chariot, so the steps under his feet quickened unconsciously. , the palace people behind him also hurriedly followed behind him.

Trotting all the way, he finally came outside her palace, and when he looked up, he saw him sitting in the pavilion taking a nap. He quickly walked over and stood in front of her, pulled her up, and said happily: "Qing Qian! I have already deposed Qin Yurou! Be my wife! Be my queen!"

However, Gu Qingqian took a slight step back and withdrew her hand.

This action was like pouring a basin of cold water on Xiao Yu's head. His hand was still raised in the air, he looked at Gu Qingqian blankly, and asked with a hint of doubt: "You don't want to?"

Gu Qingqian shook his head, and said flatly: "I can't be your queen."

"Why?" Xiao Yu's tone unconsciously carried a trace of anger, he took a step forward and looked down at her slightly.

"You know, if you stand up again, you will hold a ceremony in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, then I will appear in front of everyone. They recognize me, and you should know the consequences."

Xiao Yu put his mind at ease, and said softly, "You were worried about this matter, it's okay, I will take care of this matter, and just give you a new identity."

Gu Qingqian shook her head again, and continued: "This decision is too hasty. We need to think long-term. I can marry you, but it doesn't have to be now. Now is an extraordinary period."

Xiao Yu's eyes changed slightly, she didn't believe this set of rhetoric, he reached out and grabbed Gu Qingqian's shoulders, slowly approached her, and asked in a low voice: "You are lying to me, have you been perfunctory from the beginning? .”

"No."

"Then why do you want to refuse like this!" Xiao Yu's strength slightly increased, "Now that the queen mother is dead, I am afraid that uncle will not be far away. If I give up the throne to A Yan, but you go back on your word, then I will not give up." There is nothing left!"

Gu Qingqian was slightly silent, and then said: "I just don't want any trouble."

"What kind of trouble can happen! I am the emperor, the lord of the world, and the world belongs to me! I want you to marry me in front of the whole world, to be my queen, and to be my wife!" This silence Xiao Yu was a little flustered, he pushed Gu Qingqian away, Gu Qingqian was pushed to the ground unsuspectingly, he was slightly taken aback, subconsciously wanted to reach out to pull, but stopped abruptly, turned around with a wave of his sleeves Then she was about to leave, "I am the emperor, it's not that one or two of you can disobey me! You marry me obediently, otherwise I don't mind continuing to be the emperor!"

Gu Qingqian looked at the back of Xiao Yu leaving impetuously, got up and patted the dust on her dress indifferently, and sat on the stone bench with a calm expression, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

"Your Highness." Jiaomu's deep and hoarse voice came from the roof.

"How is it?"

"The prime minister's eldest son is already on his way back to Beijing, and the second son is also contacting the rest of the court. As for the third son, there is no news about him so far."

Gu Qingqian frowned slightly. She has always disliked the third son. He looks gentle and gentle, but in reality he is vicious and scheming. After he was placed under house arrest three years ago, he left the whole capital. In recent years, he has been tracking down his whereabouts. It is not known that this is an unstable factor.

"Put the word out, they should be moving."

"only."

Gu Qingqian looked at the sky and muttered to himself: "It's time to clear up."
